Yes, it is the title of one of my favorite DOORS songs but this is what I had to do to get this shot at The Grand Canyon. The sun was setting behind a bank of clouds and a spotlight of sun would appear in the canyon but I had to wait patiently until it lit up Mount Hayden in the foreground.

The Taylor Creek Trail at the Kolob Canyons section of Zion National Park is an easy stroll with a big payoff at the end. The trail follows Taylor Creek for 2.2 miles where it ends at the really cool Double Arch Alcove. The trail is 2.1 miles from the Kolob Canyon Visitor Center which is just off Interstate 15, about 30 miles north of St. George, Utah.
